Now if liberalism infiltrates into the Republican party and Republicans start promoting all this socialist garbage, do you think that I or FR will suddenly stop fighting against it?

Unfortunately it has already. Conservatives can also fight back by distancing themselves from the socialists in the Republican party and form a Conservative party.

Call it the FreeRepublic Party! I couldn't go back the pacifist Libertarian and Constitution Parties. That is also against Jefferson's intent. President Jefferson sent U.S. Marines to North Africa to fight Muslims in 1803.

But, having said that, until I discover otherwise, Fred Thompson is my choice for President.

I could go with Thompson - Hunter, not Hunter - Thompson. That would be just to Gonzo for me!

You shouldn't stop fighting against Socialism but it is time for a different approach. There are a considerable number of unaffiliated Conservatives. Conservatives in the party will be more effective attracting Conservatives who are unaffiliated voters by separating themselves from the socialists in the Republican party.

But, having said that, until I discover otherwise, Fred Thompson is my choice for President.

I must admit this is a phenomena that escapes me. People are so eager to vote for Fred. The only problem is he hasn't declared his candidacy! He may very well be a solid candidate but the prudent tactic would be to focus on those who are candidates and only consider Thompson if and when he runs.
